Went out to the barn this morning to find my mare with a moderately snotty nose (which has now cleared up since being out grazing) and also a lump across where her halter normally lies. I'm wondering if she bumped it or if it's something more serious.

Anyone see this before? She's eating/acting fine. It's squishy and slightly warm. She doesn't have any swollen glands on her neck/throat area as far as I can tell.

I'm almost wondering if it's a tooth abscess? Or allergies? Maybe she simply smacked it in her stall last night?

To me it looked like she hit her face on something and hurt her nose. I would watch it, check her nose many times a day for any yellow or green looking stuff coming from her nose. Make sure she is eating and drinking.

Hi-I found this post searching for pictures that look like what my Arabian mare has. That lump is exactly what she has on her nose, except the other side, and a bit lower (so her halter doesn't hit it). Can you tell me if you found out what it was and how they treated her? Thanks
